Amen Properties Reports Results for Second Quarter of 2012 and Announces Quarterly Dividend

Amen Properties, Inc. (Pink Sheets: AMEN) today announced financial results for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012. The Company posted quarterly revenue of $628 thousand and a net profit of $226 thousand, or $4.40 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $1.0 million and a net profit of $283 thousand, or $5.51 per diluted share, for the same quarter last year. The reduction in revenue versus the same period last year was driven primarily by decreases in commodity prices, particularly natural gas. The revenue decline, however, was partially offset by $238 thousand in gains recognized in connection with the liquidation of most of the Company’s hedging positions, as announced last quarter.

Amen also announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has approved the payment of a quarterly dividend of $18 per share to the Company’s common shareholders. The dividend will be paid on September 28, 2012 to shareholders of record as of September 21, 2012. The Company reminded shareholders that future dividend levels will be largely determined by commodity prices for oil and gas.

Finally, Amen reiterated that its Board has approved a plan whereby the Company will no longer hedge the revenue stream associated with its oil and gas royalties. The Board reached this decision based on reduced cash flow risk associated with the retirement of the Company’s debt in 2011. “Shareholders that hold Amen stock need to understand that, moving forward, they hold an un-hedged long oil and gas position and should pursue their own hedging strategy if they are uncomfortable with that risk,” said Kris Oliver, Amen’s Chief Executive Officer.

The Company’s 2012 second quarter report is available for viewing or download from the company’s web site – www.amenproperties.com.
